Crepe Recipe: Blintzes (Blinchiki) with Whey and Eggs
Ingredients:
- 2 cups whey (separated from making cottage cheese)
- 1 1/2 cups organic all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil (or melted butter/ghee)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (I used Member’s mark Maple syrup, which is dark and has a rich taste)
- Melted butter/ghee (for spreading on cooked crepes)
Instructions:
- Warm up the whey on the stovetop.
- Beat the eggs together with salt.
- Slowly add the warm whey while continuing to beat the mixture.
- Sift the flour onto the egg mixture and mix until smooth.
- Add maple syrup and vegetable oil/melted butter and mix.
- Let the batter rest for at least 10 minutes on the countertop or overnight in the fridge.
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat and pour enough batter to cover the bottom of the pan. Spread to form a round crepe.
- Cook until the bottom browns slightly, flip to the other side and cook until light brown.
- Repeat until the batter finishes.
- Put melted butter on each crepe and spread it all over the surface with a brush.
- You can stuff the crepes with your favorite filling (honey, cream, cottage cheese, etc.), or enjoy them plain.
Enjoy your homemade blintzes (blinchiki)!
